Start with the Readers Chapter 119: “Thief”

Abner had mentioned to Hugh that he would bring the "Desolator" to the "Daily Observer" ball before, seeing her looking businesslike at the moment, he didn't think much about it, and Zhu Stepped forward together with Dee to register their identity.

Hugh glanced at Judy's signature, said "Roman" silently, and then handed the two of them over to the colleagues behind to lead them into the headquarters building of the "Daily Observer".

This building has five floors, and the dance venue is set up in the lobby on the first floor, so as soon as Abner and the two entered the door, they saw neatly arranged seats, and also saw a person who had already arrived Well-dressed guests.

Among them, women's dresses are mainly divided into two categories, one is bright or dark, bold and open, and you can see a large white chest and arms on both sides, and the other is fresh in color. Quite conservative, the interlocking bones are only faintly visible, or even covered.

In the Kingdom of Loen, this means the difference between married and unmarried. Widows and divorced women can choose both styles of clothing, but the color tone of the former will be as dark as possible.

In addition to these, Abner also saw the shining necklaces, exquisite earrings, and all kinds of precious accessories on the ladies. Compared with the dance held by the teacher and himself in the public ballroom , the guests here are obviously more dignified.

After stepping into the hall, Judy greeted Abner and left alone to find the mission target.

Abner looked around, but found that he knew very few people, only a few senior inspectors from the police department. not familiar with.

At this moment, there was a voice coming from the door, and many guests turned their gazes there, then smiled and greeted them.

Abner looked there curiously, and then saw a middle-aged gentleman wearing an olive green army uniform, an orange ribbon, and several medals hanging on his chest, walking away with his wife on his arm. Come in.

——In the Kingdom of Loen, active or retired military officers like to wear military uniforms at balls.

Beside the lady, there was a young girl in a sky blue dress, her eyes were quite proud, and there was a look of boredom between her brows.

Abner didn't recognize the person who came, and only vaguely heard "Mr. Congressman" among those who greeted him.

"That's Congressman Macht. He once served in the army. After retiring from the army, he joined the political arena. He started from around Backlund and became a member of the Kingdom's House of Commons all the way. He is a believer of the Evernight Goddess, a member of the New Party, and supports the improvement of the atmospheric environment. It is his wife, Liana, who was born in a barrister's family, provided her husband with a lot of resources for his political career, and is also a believer of the Evernight Goddess."

At this time, reporter Mike came over from the side behind Abner, saw his confusion, and happily introduced.

Abner said hello to this old friend who bragged about a whole page for him in the event of "The famous detective goes deep into the tiger's den to rescue the young girl", and then looked in the direction of the door again, thinking:

Chairman Macht? Is it the unlucky guy whose whole family was turned into a "monocle monster" by Amon, scaring their daughter almost to the point of insanity?

Then, that proud girl is Hazel who was accepted as a student by the "rat demigod" of Jacob's family?

Thinking of this, Abner couldn't help but look at the lady with dark green wavy hair and dark brown bright eyes, but at this moment, the girl suspected to be Hazel suddenly turned her head back to the door, frowning. Wrinkled slightly.

Abner followed her gaze, and then saw Forsi walking in, wearing a set of blue and white and exquisite dress with intricate and delicate lace.

First she was taken aback by the crowd waiting at the door to greet Congressman Macht, and she was relieved when she realized that these people did not come to ask her to press for the manuscript. Then she searched around for a while, and found a long table with food, and then walked over briskly.

But during this period, Hazel's gaze was fixed on Fors all the time, and she never left for a moment.

Abner frowned when he saw this. He remembered that in the original book, Hazel had an extraordinary item that could help her sense and steal "valuable" things. She paid so much attention to Forsi, could she be staring at it? That bracelet that "travels"?

Perhaps Abner stared at Hazel for a long time, which caused reporter Mike to misunderstand. He patted Abner's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "That's the daughter of Congressman Macht, Hazel Miss Rouer. She is a girl with high vision, and many confident gentlemen have encountered a wall in her. If you want to pursue her, you must be mentally prepared."

Abner came back to his senses when he heard the words, and replied with a smile: "I am no match for the daughter of a member of the House of Commons. Reporter Mike, you really know how to joke."

"You can't have such a mentality. Young people have to be aggressive, and they don't even dare to pursue it? What's more, you are Backlund's 'hero'. How can you not have the courage to pursue the girl you like?" Reporter Mike was already very familiar with Abner at this time, and he was able to make jokes, so he smiled and encouraged.

Keep your voice down, I don’t want to be on the headlines of the tabloids again because of the frivolous news... Abner secretly complained, but on the surface, he deliberately looked at Forsi who had already walked to the food area, and turned to the side The Mike reporter said: "I think I have a new goal, excuse me, Mike."

…

Forsi came to a long table and reached out to pick up some of her favorite sweets, but because of the complicated structure of the dress on her body, she was not used to it and tripped over the corner of the skirt...

"It's over..." Forsi tried hard to adjust the center of gravity of her body, but she seemed to lose her sense of balance suddenly, so she failed.

Seeing that she was about to fall down on the long table full of food, Fors was filled with annoyance. It was a minor matter for her to lose face. If she ruined the dress that Hugh's father left her, it would be a real sin. At that time, although Xio would not say anything on the surface, she would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart.

At the very moment, Fors suddenly felt a powerful arm wrapping around her. She quickly adjusted her center of gravity with this external force, and regained her footing.

"Thank you." Fors thanked her sincerely, then raised her head to look at the person who came, but she was surprised to find that it was Abner who held her back, preventing herself from making a fool of herself.

At this time, Miss Hazel, who was not far away, pouted in disappointment, and the footsteps that were about to go forward suddenly stopped.

"Abner, why are you here?" Fors asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Because I became a 'hero', I was recently a popular figure in the "Daily Observer". Isn't it normal to be invited? Why, Hugh didn't tell you?" Abner said openly It was a joke, but she secretly signaled Fors with her eyes to let her follow her~IndoMTL.com~ Fors immediately understood, she rolled her eyes and smiled, and said, "Xiu won't reveal her friend's information casually." message, unless a friend agrees."

Then, she chatted and laughed with Abner deliberately, and then the two came to a remote corner of the hall while chatting together.

Hazel, who has been paying attention to Forsi, saw the two people completely disappear from sight, and wanted to chase after them, but her mother just happened to ask her to go and greet other guests...

In desperation, Hazel had no choice but to deal with those people first, and secretly decided in her heart, after a while, she would invite that man to dance, no...it should be waiting for that man to come Don't refuse when you invite yourself to dance, and then inadvertently ask him about the specific identity of the girl.

…

On the other side, Fors, who came to the corner, hadn't had time to ask Abner what important matter he had to discuss at the ball, when he heard the other party say:

"Forsi, you have been targeted by a'thief'... After you go back, it is best to change houses with Xio, so as not to be caught by a thief at night."
